The existential movement in psychiatry and psychology arose out of a passion to be not less but more empirical. ... The fundamental contributions of existential therapy is its understanding of man as being: It doesn’t deny to validity if dynamisms and the study of specific behavior patterns but it holds that drives or dynamisms can be understood only in the context of the structure of the existence of the person we are dealing with.

Psychoanalysis and Digital Culture: Audiences, Social Media, and Big Data (Routledge Studies in New Media and Cyberculture) (Jacob Johanssen, Routledge, 2018)
Psychoanalysis and Digital Culture offers a comprehensive account of our contemporary media environment―digital culture and audiences in particular―by drawing on psychoanalysis and media studies frameworks. It provides an introduction to the psychoanalytic affect theories of Sigmund Freud and Didier Anzieu and applies them theoretically and methodologically in a number of case studies. Johanssen argues that digital media fundamentally shape our subjectivities on affective and unconscious levels, and he critically analyses phenomena such as television viewing, Twitter use, affective labour on social media, and data-mining.
How does watching television involve the body? Why are we so drawn to reality television?
Why do we share certain things on social media and not others? How are bodies represented on social media?
How do big data and data mining influence our identities? Can algorithms help us make better decisions?
These questions amongst others are addressed in the chapters of this wide-ranging book. Johanssen shows in a number of case studies how a psychoanalytic angle can bring new insights to audience studies and digital media research more generally. From audience research with viewers of the reality television show Embarrassing Bodies and how they unconsciously used it to work through feelings about their own bodies, to a critical engagement with Hardt and Negri's notion of affective labour and how individuals with bodily differences used social media for their own affective-digital labour, the book suggests that an understanding of affect based on Freud and Anzieu is helpful when thinking about media use. The monograph also discusses the perverse implications of algorithms, big data and data mining for subjectivities. In drawing on empirical data and examples throughout, Johanssen presents a compelling analysis of our contemporary media environment. (amazon)
Erich Fromm's Critical Theory: Hope, Humanism, and the Future (ed. Joan Braune, Kieran Durkin, Bloomsbury Academic, 2020-4-16)
Interest in Fromm is increasing: as a prominent Marxist, sociologist, psychoanalytic theorist, and public intellectual, the unique normative-humanist thrust of his writings provides a crucial critical reference point for those seeking to understand and transcend the societal pathologies of our age.
The essays in this volume retrieve, revive, and expand upon Fromm's central insights and contributions. They offer a critical theory of culture, the self, psychology and society that goes beyond what is typical of the narrower concerns of the fragmented and isolated disciplines of today, demonstrating the pan-disciplinary potential of Fromm's work. But this book does not simply reassert Fromm's ideas and rehash his theories, but rather reconstructs them to bring them into meaningful dialogue with contemporary ideas and cultural, political and economic developments.
Providing new approaches to Fromm's ideas and work brings them up-to-date with contemporary problems and debates in theory and society and helps us understand the challenges of our times. (amazon)
Transferences: The Aesthetics and Poetics of the Therapeutic Relationship (Psychoanalytic Horizons) (Maren Scheurer, Bloomsbury Academic, 2019-10-3)
Why are psychoanalysts fascinated with literature and other arts? And why do so many novels, plays, films, and television series feature therapy sessions? Transferences investigates the interdisciplinary attraction between psychoanalysis and the arts by exploring the therapeutic relationship as a recurring figure in psychoanalytic discourse, literature, theater, and television. In addition to close readings of psychoanalytic and critical texts, the book presents a new approach to examining psychoanalytic themes and formal devices in texts like Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint, J. M. Coetzee's Life & Times of Michael K, Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace, Peter Shaffer's Equus, and the HBO series In Treatment.
Transferences argues that psychoanalysts as well as writers and other artists are fascinated by the therapeutic relationship because it provides a unique site to negotiate the narrative and artistic underpinnings of psychoanalysis and reflect and reinvent the aesthetic and poetic potentiality of art.
In the Event of Laughter: Psychoanalysis, Literature and Comedy (Psychoanalytic Horizons) (Alfie Bown, Bloomsbury Academic, 2018)
Using Lacanian psychoanalysis, as well as its pre-history and afterlives, In the Event of Laughter argues for a new framework for discussing laughter. Responding to a tradition of 'comedy studies' that has been interested only in the causes of laughter (in why we laugh), it proposes a different relationship between laughter and causality. Ultimately it argues that laughter is both cause and effect, troubling chronological time and asking for a more nuanced way of conceiving the relationship between subjects and their laughter than existing theories have accounted for.
Making this visible via psychoanalytic ideas of retroactivity, Alfie Bown explores how laughter – far from being a mere response to a stimulus – changes the relationship between the present, the past and the future. Bown investigates this hypothesis in relation to a range of comic texts from the 'history of laughter,' discussing Chaucer, Shakespeare, Kafka and Chaplin, as well as lesser-known but vital figures from the comic genre.(amazon)

Character: The History of a Cultural Obsession (Marjorie Garber, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2020-6-23)
A spirited, engaging investigation into the concept of character, an enduring human obsession in literature, psychology, politics, and everyday life
What is “character”? How can it be measured, developed, or built? Are character traits fixed or changeable? Is character innate, or can it be taught?
What is “character”? How can it be measured, developed, or built? Are character traits fixed or changeable? Is character innate, or can it be taught?
Since Aristotle's Poetics, philosophers, moralists, artists, and scientists have engaged with the enigma of human character. In its oldest usage, "character" derives from a word for engraving or stamping, yet over time, it has come to mean a moral idea, a type, a literary persona, and a physical or physiological manifestation, observable in works of art or in scientific experiments. It is an ingredient in drama and the focus of self-help books.
As Marjorie Garber explores in The Character Issue, character seems more relevant than ever―the term is omnipresent in discussions of politics, sexuality, ethics, morality, and the psyche. But it seems to carry an unusually wide range of meanings, some disconcertingly at odds with others.
Why are “character flaws” of such great interest today, whether in political campaigns, personal relationships, or the biographies (and autobiographies) of famous people, living and dead? What does “character,” in this moral or ethical sense, have to do with the concept of a character in a novel or a play? Are our notions about fictional characters in fact helping to produce our ideas about moral character?
The question of “character” arises in virtually every area of modern life. And in every case, there is the same fundamental tension: between something regarded as innate or intrinsic to the individual, and something that can be taught or copied. With characteristic verve, humor, and vast erudition, Garber explores the stakes of these conflations, confusions, and heritages, from Aristotle and Shakespeare to the present preoccupation with “character issues,” “character assassination,” and the “character flaws” of public figures.

Synchronicity: The Epic Quest to Understand the Quantum Nature of Cause and Effect (Paul Halpern, Basic Books, 2020-8-18)
For millennia, scientists have puzzled over a simple question: Does the universe have a speed limit? If not, some effects could happen at the same instant as the actions that caused them-and some effects, ludicrously, might even happen before their causes. By one hundred years ago, it seemed clear that the speed of light was the fastest possible speed. Causality was safe. And then quantum mechanics happened, introducing spooky connections that seemed to circumvent the law of cause and effect. Inspired by the new physics, psychologist Carl Jung and physicist Wolfgang Pauli explored a concept called synchronicity, a weird phenomenon they thought could link events without causes.
Synchronicity tells that sprawling tale of insight and creativity, and asks where these ideas-some plain crazy, and others crazy powerful-are taking the human story next. (amazon)

Therapy as a Performance Art (Henry Abramovitch, Routledge, 2020-8-30)
Abramovitch explores the performance aspects of therapy and analysis, going against the tradition of therapeutic discourse in which a narrative is based on specific vignettes chosen to present a theoretical agenda. This view of the therapeutic experience allows random or chance-based occurrences to come to the fore, and challenges the participants to think in new and unexpected ways. Covering aspects of the encounter including nonverbal behaviour, creating a part in the therapeutic drama, setting the stage for therapy and moving the clinic, and including case material throughout, Abramovitch’s book enriches our view of the therapeutic experience. (amazon)
The Analyst’s Desire: The Ethical Foundation of Clinical Practice (Psychoanalytic Horizons) (Mitchell Wilson, Bloomsbury Academic, 2020-9-3)
In The Analyst's Desire, Mitchell Wilson explores the fundamental role that lack and desire play in psychoanalytic interpretation. Throughout this book, Wilson utilizes a comparative method that engages different psychoanalytic traditions-Lacanian, Bionian, Kleinian, Contemporary Freudian-to investigate questions of utmost importance. These questions include: What is the nature of the psychoanalytic process? How are desire and counter-transference linked? What is the relationship between desire, analytic action, and psychoanalytic ethics? (amazon)
History and Psychoanalysis since 1945: After Catastrophe (Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine) (ed. Michal Shapira, Routledge, 2020-10-7)
The Second World War elevated psychoanalysis to a new social and political role in Europe and the US as well as in postcolonial societies. Under the shock of bombing and evacuation and mass killings of civilians, state officials, journalists, educationalists, radio broadcasters and others turned to psychoanalysis for help in explaining societies and selves.
This turned out to be a decisive moment both for the history of psychoanalysis and for expectations of selfhood, citizenship, gender, childhood, and the welfare and post-colonial state. This book is the first historical, interdisciplinary book to provide a multi-angled study of the contribution of psychoanalysis to the shaping of post-war society. (amazon)

因為一旦聽到某個字某個片語某句話
一切就停下來無法前行
這說明我在尋找片斷

有點像 hoarding disorder
據說那是一種病
但無法聽完完整的故事
也說明我的耐性已經用完
有點像看電影只能看三五分鐘
或必須分好幾回看完
也說明我沒有完整的時間
完整的意思是大塊天地
大塊是尚未分割不容分割的意思

Compelling Visuality: The Work Of Art In And Out Of History (Claire Farago (Author), Robert Zwijnenberg (Contributor), Univ Of Minnesota Press, 2003)
Explores what we actually see, touch, and experience when looking at art. Typically, art history is an enterprise of recovery--of searching out the provenance, the original intentions, the physical setting, and historical conditions behind a work of art. The essays in Compelling Visuality address some of the "other" questions that are less frequently asked--and, in doing so, show how much is to be learned and gained by going beyond the traditional approaches of art history. In particular, the contributors take up the commonly unexplored question of what is actually present in a work of art--what we see, touch, and experience when confronted with Renaissance or Baroque works that have survived the vicissitudes of time. International and interdisciplinary, this volume conducts readers into an ongoing discussion of the value and significance of personal response to works of art. (amazon) (accessible via scribd)
Travelling Concepts in the Humanities: A Rough Guide (Green College Thematic Lecture Series) (Mieke Bal, University of Toronto Press, 2002)
Attempting to bridge the gap between specialised scholarship in the humanistic disciplines and an interdisciplinary project of cultural analysis, Mieke Bal has written an intellectual travel guide that charts the course 'beyond' cultural studies. As with any guide, it can be used in a number of ways and the reader can follow or willfully ignore any of the paths it maps or signposts.
Bal's focus for this book is the idea that interdisciplinarity in the humanities - necessary, exciting, serious - must seek its heuristic and methodological basis in concepts rather than its methods. Concepts are not grids to put over an object. The counterpart of any given concept is the cultural text or work or 'thing' that constitutes the object of analysis. No concept is meaningful for cultural analysis unless it helps us to understand the object better on its own terms.
Bal offers the reader a sustained theoretical reflection on how to 'do' cultural analysis through a tentative practice of doing just that. This offers a concrete practice to theoretical constructs, and allows the proposed method more accessibility. (amazon)
Handbook of Arts-Based Research (ed. Patricia Leavy, The Guilford Press, 2019)
Bringing together interdisciplinary leaders in methodology and arts-based research (ABR), this comprehensive handbook explores the synergies between artistic and research practices and addresses issues in designing, implementing, evaluating, and publishing ABR studies. Coverage includes the full range of ABR genres, including those based in literature (such as narrative and poetic inquiry); performance (music, dance, playbuilding); visual arts (drawing and painting, collage, installation art, comics); and audiovisual and multimethod approaches. Each genre is described in detail and brought to life with robust research examples. Team approaches, ethics, and public scholarship are discussed, as are innovative ways that ABR is used within creative arts therapies, psychology, education, sociology, health sciences, business, and other disciplines. The companion website includes selected figures from the book in full color, additional online-only figures, and links to online videos of performance pieces.

Narratology: Introduction to the Theory of Narrative (Mieke Bal, University of Toronto Press, 4th ed, 2017)
Since its first publication in English in 1985, Mieke Bal's Narratology has become an international classic and the comprehensive introduction to the theory of narrative texts, both literary and non-literary. Providing insights into how readers interpret narrative text, the fourth edition of Narratology is a guide for students and scholars seeking to analyze narratives of any language, period, and region with clear, systematic and reliable concepts.
With the addition of in-depth analysis of literary nuances and methods, award-wining cultural theorist Mieke Bal continues to present narrative concepts with clarity. Bal uses a systematic framework to better explain how narratives function, are formed, and eventually interpreted by the reader, while presenting a comprehensive study of the surface perception of language, the perceived narrative world, point of view, and characterization.

Of What One Cannot Speak: Doris Salcedo's Political Art (Mieke Bal, University of Chicago Press, 2011)
Doris Salcedo, a Colombian-born artist, addresses the politics of memory and forgetting in work that embraces fraught situations in dangerous places. Noted critic and theorist Mieke Bal narrates between the disciplines of contemporary culture in order to boldly reimagine the role of the visual arts. Both women are pathbreaking figures, globally renowned and widely respected. Doris Salcedo, meet Mieke Bal.
In Of What One Cannot Speak, Bal leads us into intimate encounters with Salcedo’s art, encouraging us to consider each work as a “theoretical object” that invites—and demands—certain kinds of considerations about history, death, erasure, and grief. Bal ranges widely through Salcedo’s work, from Salcedo’s Atrabiliarios series—in which the artist uses worn shoes to retrace los desaparecidos (“the disappeared”) from nations like Argentina, Chile, and Colombia—to Shibboleth, Salcedo’s once-in-a-lifetime commission by the Tate Modern, for which she created a rupture, as if by earthquake, that stretched the length of the museum hall’s concrete floor. In each instance, Salcedo’s installations speak for themselves, utilizing household items, human bones, and common domestic architecture to explore the silent spaces between violence, trauma, and identity. Yet Bal draws out even deeper responses to the work, questioning the nature of political art altogether and introducing concepts of metaphor, time, and space in order to contend with Salcedo’s powerful sculptures and installations.
An unforgettable fusion of art and essay, Of What One Cannot Speak takes us to the very core of events we are capable of remembering—yet still uncomfortably cannot speak aloud. (amazon)

The psychotherapy of psychosis and trauma: A relentless battle against objectification (Francoise Davoine, 2012)

Abstract
Going beyond Jacques Lacan's teaching, this paper discusses the possibility of psychoanalysis for treating trauma and psychosis, and connects such possibility to the findings of two American pioneers in that field, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann and Harry Stack Sullivan. The paper focuses on the kind of transference specific to such cases, cases that abolish any illusion of neutrality. A parallel is drawn with some of the discoveries made in physics during the same period between the First and the Second World Wars. Erwin Schrodinger and other contemporaries, such as Hannah Arendt and Ludwig Wittgenstein, are cited as protagonists in the fight against objectification.
“I am an encoded of the anti-past.” (“Je suis un codé de l’anti-passé.”)
JMG: I want to begin with a prefatory remark. When you work in this field of research, and in places such as asylums, where the traumatized or the mad are confined, you learn that these people are the witnesses of histories that have no right to exist. But beyond that, the patients also have—and they tell you—a theory of this witness as well. Next month, when we go to speak in a conference on history and trauma with historians of our institute of research, EHESS, I will begin with the first sentence by which a patient of mine at an asylum introduced himself to me, when he was in really bad shape, almost starving in his bed. The chief medical doctor had said that I should see him. And I introduced myself; he had been confined for more than ten years so he knew who I was. “I am Jean-Max Gaudillière,” I said, “I am a psychoanalyst on the ward.” And he looked at me with his eyes completely wide open from fever, and he said to me, “I am an encoded of the anti-past.”

最好的方式我知道因為我從那裡來我仍在那裡你認識我不必我多說甚麼這個方式就是Winnicott被孩子認識的方式因為Winnicott就是孩子孩子在他身上見到自己
所以關鍵在表情嗎在修辭嗎在舉手投足的演技嗎在牆上掛的證照或勳章嗎不關鍵在你是誰
這時治療者汗顏了因為他不知道他是誰他對這個世界的理解止於道聽塗說他對生老病死的體會止於電視連續劇他對疼痛的理解止於四十年前的牙痛他對人的理解止於教科書上的 take-home messages
病人是最好的老師之外時間也是最好的老師因為治療者自己遲早會碰到病人早已碰到的那些倒楣事這時我們的治療者終於可以放下理論與他的病人素面相見這件事我們稱之為兩個人相會或互為主體
how do we intersubjectively face trauma together ?
CC: Let me begin by addressing one of the central ideas
in your book History beyond Trauma. In this work you describe madness as
“research into uninscribed histories,” and you say, in this context, that
“sometimes a fit of madness tells us more than all the news dispatches about
the left-over facts that have no right to existence.” (杜鵑啼血, 劉大任) This is a clinical insight; it is not simply a speculative theory
but rather, as we see in all your writing, arises directly out of your work
with people. It emerges in the analysis with patients and in the transference
and countertransference dynamics.

關於記憶和神經元的感動
精神分析文獻中常用一個片語照相機般的記憶 (photographic memory)來誇獎某個分析師的記性很好能傳神地把當時千言萬語的現場描述下來以至於那是一個可信的故事有點像你熟讀杜斯妥也夫斯基的小說以至於可以隨手翻出某一頁某一段精準引述不要忘記我指的是長篇小說你不妨試試看
年輕的時候我相信上述是可能的因為那是剛出爐的電腦還應付得來所以那些年我的腦子裡放了數十上百人的點點滴滴我當時以為這是可以永久保存隨時召喚得來的記憶當時常常可以沾沾自喜說起一段連病人都忘記的往事讓他非常驚訝而且年輕的神經元善感所以這些記憶讓神經元處在一個年輕的卡謬的狀態
但那時我不知道照相機般的記憶不是數位化的記憶 (digital memory) 前者栩栩如生但隨著時間流逝會泛黃風化後者超越了時間不會變化像真的但你不會用栩栩如生來形容它而我們這個年頭已經沒有人用前者的傳統相機照相了我們的認知情緒記憶已經被要求數位化處理了我們的神經元已經不會感動了
感動像干擾程式系統運行的 bug 只會讓人不耐煩最好的狀態是快速運行不須記憶因為記憶已經被放在雲端意思是說我們的腦子和神經迴路和神經元也被放在雲端了
這時我們的閱讀經驗已經不可能重複讀某一篇文章某一本書每隔三五年或三五十年意思是說那是我們自己的一部份或陪著自己度過人生的某一篇文章某一本書某一段音樂某一部電影某一個作者我們被要求高速處理信息已經沒有能力慢下來了
肉體原是廢墟我們失去的是感動我們得到的是大量的超越了時間不會變化像真的但你不會用栩栩如生來形容它的信息意思是說我們失去的是遺忘意思是說不會被遺忘的就不會讓人感動

The main theme is how very frequently, if not always, help is asked with regard to improving oneself, whilst the real request is how to bring about the reparation of important damaged inner objects without which reparation the subject's self cannot function normally and happily. The patient does not know how to do it, cannot do it. He seeks help with regard to those objects without a conscious realization of what he is looking for. A central aspect of the problemis that theatened and dying objects have to be kept alive for this purpose by the use of mental manoeuvres of a very complex nature. An attempt to describe the mechanisms used will be made. The contrast between concrete repair and psychic reparation proper appears to be fundamental in the failed efforts to repair, and resulting difficulties. (1988, p. 457)

The patient does not know how to do it, cannot do it. He seeks help with regard to those objects without a conscious realization of what he is looking for. A central aspect of the problemis that theatened and dying objects have to be kept alive for this purpose by the use of mental manoeuvres of a very complex nature. An attempt to describe the mechanisms used will be made. The contrast between concrete repair and psychic reparation proper appears to be fundamental in the failed efforts to repair, and resulting difficulties. (1988, p. 457)
He keeps them alive in the hope that help will come.

Kohut的傳記裡曾提到他出錢
讓兒子Thomas Kohut去接受精神分析
有人問他為什麼不把那筆錢存起來養老
Kohut說這樣做值得
以上說明Kohut不過中產不是巨富
也說明精神分析是一齣奢華郵輪之旅
年輕的海明威和毛姆剃刀邊緣的Larry
為什麼把自己放逐巴黎
因為那個年頭巴黎生活便宜
卻甚麼名堂都有
意思是說文明的程度的判別在於
生活便宜卻甚麼都有
生活便宜的意思是
你可以元素性的存在
比如說每七天去頂好
買一罐牛奶
一把青江菜

我先前說過你必須要有歷史判斷
也必須讓海量信息經驗穿過你
再看你原本相信的確信的你
還能剩下甚麼殘骸
這件事我在台灣罕見
這件事我在中國未見
這兩個罕見未見
說明人的素質蠻荒
有點像數十億年前
那些史前動物
所以這是逆行的演化
達爾文沒有見過這種名堂

昨天老程講完系列視頻四十八講結論仍為兩年前的潰而不崩
兩年前江西官府不許老百姓土葬所以沒收棺材你遂見千萬棺材擺滿大地
每年群體性事件近三十萬件
所有野蠻成長瘋狂擴張的後果都由人民買單
兩周前瑞銀公布中國富人一百人在瑞銀一個銀行的資產就達七點八二萬億美金
老程念了解放軍和武警的薪水起薪五千七百人民幣混出頭來三萬人民幣
習近平前幾年反腐弄死一百四十萬貪官其中沒有一個紅二代
抄家所得誰拿去了假如每個貪官貪十百千億
所以我們必須理解老程的潰而不崩的前提是中共維穩洗腦完全成功
而且人民真的就是待宰的畜牲不會自覺不會反省不會憤怒不會集結
這兩個前提讓人悲傷
我知道我沒有家也回不了家了
奇怪的是這個知道讓人輕鬆起來
我今天上午要去衛生局開會

Crime Fiction in German: Der Krimi (European Crime Fictions) (ed. Katharina Hall, University of Wales Press, 2017)
Crime Fiction in German is the first volume in English to offer a comprehensive overview of German-language crime fiction, from its origins in the early nineteenth century to its vibrant growth in the new millennium. In addition to introducing readers to crime fiction from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the former East Germany, Katharina Hall expands the notion of a German crime-writing tradition by investigating Nazi crime fiction, Jewish-German crime fiction, Turkish-German crime fiction, and the Afrika-Krimi. Significant trends, including the West German social crime novel, women’s crime writing, regional crime fiction, historical crime fiction, and the Fernsehkrimi television crime drama are also explored, highlighting the genre’s distinctive features in German-language contexts.

definition of intersubjectivity
The authors’ requirement that we as therapists become personal with our patients (within an analytic framework) is one reason that what they have to say to us might feel demanding. It is indeed a demand, one they would say our patients make upon us, to be there, person to person, at those moments when the patient is calling upon, and needs to use, something in us and in our own histories. One of the mentors cited in this book, Martin Cooperman, once commented that in psychotherapy the patient comes with his symptoms and the therapist comes with his technique, and if things go well, they both come out from hiding.

now, why "within an analytic framework" is still needed ? and, how does "becoming personal" coexist with "within an analytic framework" ? here lies the mystery of intersubjectivity, which means it is subjective, yet it is also not only subjective, though i'd rather not use the word objective here

History beyond Trauma: Whereof One Cannot Speak, Thereof One Cannot Stay Silent (Francoise Davoine, Jean-Max Gaudilliere, Other Press; 2004)
In the course of nearly thirty years of work with patients in psychiatric hospitals and private practice, Francoise Davoine and Jean-Max Gaudilliere have uncovered the ways in which transference and countertransference are affected by the experience of social catastrophe. Handed down from one generation to the next, the unspoken horrors of war, betrayal, dissociation, and disaster in the families of patient and analyst alike are not only revived in the therapeutic relationship but, when understood, actually provide the keys to the healing process.
The authors present vivid examples of clinical work with severely traumatized patients, reaching inward to their own intimate family histories as shaped by the Second World War and outward toward an exceptionally broad range of cultural references to literature, philosophy, political theory, and anthropology. Using examples from medieval carnivals and Japanese No theater, to Wittgenstein and Hannah Arendt, to Sioux rituals in North Dakota, they reveal the ways in which psychological damage is done--and undone.
With a special focus on the relationship between psychoanalysis and the neurosciences, Davoine and Gaudilliere show how the patient-analyst relationship opens pathways of investigation into the nature of madness, whether on the scale of History--world wars, Vietnam--or on the scale of Story--the silencing of horror within an individual family.
In order to show how the therapeutic approach to trauma was developed on the basis of war psychiatry, the authors ground their clinical theory in the work of Thomas Salmon, an American doctor from the time of the First World War. In their case studies, they illustrate how three of the four Salmon principles--proximity, immediacy, and expectancy--affect the handling of the transference-countertransference relationship. The fourth principle, simplicity, shapes the style in which the authors address their readers--that is, with the same clarity and directness with which they speak to their patients. (amazon) (kindle 2019-12-17)
In 2001 Drs. Davoine and Gaudillière organized a conference that they called Casus Belli. The twenty or so invited participants from throughout Europe and the Americas were each asked to present a clinical case, relating somehow to larger societal trauma and involving a turning point in the treatment. Most important, we were to introduce ourselves not with our official, professional designations, but with something more personal about ourselves, especially as that might relate to the patient we had chosen to present. The stories unfolded with an unconscious logic, each illuminating one of the points to be found in this book and each case building on the preceding one.
To my surprise, in those rare instances when the presenters did not introduce themselves personally, they did so unconsciously through their patients. This phenomenon turns out to be central to what Drs. Davoine and Gaudillière are trying to teach us: stories of deep connection and pain must be told. If, for some reason, they cannot be spoken, they are told through an other. If they are unthinkable, their traces or debris are carried generationally and lived as madness by someone charged—in the double sense of an energy and a duty—to represent what Freud called the family’s archaic heritage. And, in the transference with psychotic patients, it is analysts’ responsiveness within their own archaic heritages that creates a field in which analysts may be charged by patients to represent something for them.

Looking back now, it is fascinating to realize that the popular culture following the First World War seemed full of ghosts and vampires, creatures popping out of movies and television and popular novels. Was this popular depiction an attempt to contain or perhaps express the cultural level of melancholy and mourning? Did these effects and influence come from the past (slavery, wars, historical trauma, gulags) or, as some might say, from the future already present (climate change, terrorism, economic pain)?
